R-day Low quarters.

I bought my low quarters at the px on my visit to West Point with the intention of breaking them in before R-day. When I arrive on R-day, should I already have a base coat of polish on my low quarters or should I plan on starting fresh based on how the cadre may tell me to polish?
Thanks guys.

Make sure they are presentable and if you want you could put on a base coat but be careful that they don't look shiny when you get there though as it could potentially draw a little attention especially on Day 0 when they will be looking for ANYTHING they can get on to you for.
